Pruning

On the morning Paul set about cutting out an orange tree which was growing in the middle of a plum tree for Aunty Lucy. When he had finished Abigail and Bradley were keen to climb the tree as it had some good branches and foot holds for them. After lunch (Domada supplied by Lucy) Paul took himself off to watch the rugby game England v Italy at Churchill’s whilst I took the children for an afternoon on the beach.
